You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.

There was a duel.

And you lost.

But at least the other guy ended up a lot worse off than you.


>Congratulations, you are now an unruly WOLF!
>Wolves are cool and powerful... and also rather dangerous.
>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!
>But while wolves are really cool, they still don't count as people.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Reinhold screams at the top of his lungs as Monique runs his sword right between the bones of his forearm. Dropping his sword, the brown-haired swordsman falls to his knees as Monique steps back and points at him with his sword.
"Do you forfeit?" he asks. "Or shall I cut something off next time?"

No.

HELL no.

It's bad enough that this uppity little prick had the audacity to DARE to talk shit about Ariane, now he goes and pulls out a SEALED KING in the middle of a standard fucking duel. And now he's fucking skewering Nicolette's friend in front of the entire goddamned kingdom...

"Hahaha..." Gripping the arms of his chair, Gregory slowly rises to his feet. "That's the last straw..."
"Gregory?" Celestino turns to his brother-in-law, concerned that he'd actually be laughing at a time like this.
"I'm gonna kill him," he mutters as he takes a few steps away from his chair and crouches down. "Roaring gale..."

With a running start, Gregory dashes towards the open front of the booth as he continues to chant his spell.

"...lift me up so that I may soar above all those who would dare to hold me back!!" Gregory says, his voice steadily growing louder. "ZEPHYR W-"
"GREGORY, STOP!!"

The fuck?

"Let me go, Thierri..." Gregory growls as he glares back at Thierri, who's holding tightly on his arm so that he can't move.
"This isn't the time for that," Thierri replies, a concerned expression on his face.
"Yes," Celestino says, having gotten up from his chair as well. "This is the end of the duel and the referee will stop the Gilbeault boy if h-"
"LIKE FUCK I'M GOING TO WAIT FOR THE FUCKING MEDICAL STAFF!" Gregory screams. "NOW LET ME GO SO I CAN FLY DOWN THERE AND CUT THAT FAGGOT INTO LITTLE PIECES FOR DARING TO PULL THIS SHIT!!!"

Gregory tries to pull away, but BOTH kings are working to restrain him now. While Celestino holds onto his arm, Thierri pulls his cousin into a bear hug in order to prevent him from getting anywhere.

"I'm not happy about this either, but you can't just go down there and murder someone in front of a huge crowd just for being an asshole in a duel," Thierri says as he forces Gregory to the ground. "And even after finding out that he's going up against Setsuranka, Reinhold still agreed to fight. It wouldn't be right to trample on his wishes like that."
"Y- yes, Gregory..." Celestino says, his normally stern voice much softer than usual. "...try and clear your head some, this isn't the time t-"

"Clear my head!? CLEAR MY HEAD!?" Gregory screams as he tries in vain to shake himself free. "LET ME GO THIERRI GOD DAMN IT! LISETTE, AGNES, TELL THEM TO LET ME GO!! AGNES!!!!"

Lisette just watches on as her older brother, enraged like hasn't seen him in years, screams his lungs ragged as he's forced to the ground. Then she looks down at the baby in her lap who's fixated on the scene...

Chiara's already been exposed to her potential brother-in-law being brutally skewered, and now her uncle's doing his damnedest to kill the one responsible... this isn't suitable for a baby to be seeing at all. Quietly, Lisette places her hand over over her youngest daughter's eyes and prays that this entire ugly episode will be over soon.

And Agnes, she isn't paying attention to any of this. The only thing in her vision is the image of the grandson that she's just met, horribly wounded and covered with blood.

As she watches Monique's sword go through Reinhold's arm, it's all Elena can do to keep from puking right then and there.

"N... no..."

Tears streaming down her face, Elena grabs her bodyguard's sleeve and turns to him.

"Andreas, you gotta do something!!" Elena shouts. "He's gonna kill Reinhold!!"
"Kh..." Andreas grits his teeth as he turns to his charge. "I want to, but this is an official duel an-"

"That fucking bastard..." Karel growls, pushing off of the remaining arm of his seat in order to get on his feet. He then turns towards the door... but Emilio tugs on his arm.

"Wait, Karel..." Emilio says, doing his best to ignore the intense killing intent that's emanating from his friend.
"Don't try and stop me," Karel says as he shakes free from the Prince's grip. "I'm going down there and then I'm gonna kick that bastard's-"
"I said WAIT!" Emilio shouts.

The hell? Since when did Emilio have the guts to-

"E- Emilio?" Karel stares at him.
"Just... wait a minute," Emilio replies, doing his best to catch his breath. "You'll get fired if you leave me to run down there by yourself-"
"Who the fuck cares about that!?" Karel shouts. "You saw the same thing that I did, right!? How the fuck can you expect me to just sit here and do nothing!?"

"That's not what I mean!" Emilio shouts. "I'll go with you, that way you won't get in trouble!"
"...heh," Karel says, his rage deflating a -tiny- bit. "Fine with me, but you better keep up."
"My running speed's the only thing I have confidence in," the Prince replies.

Perhaps even exploration of why Reinhold is willing to push himself this far over someone else's pride.

Perhaps aspects of his past will be brought to light.

Perhaps there is a reason he throws himself so coldly into fights.
>>
>>29689377

Luciana watches in horror as the Reinhold's hand, the hand that she was holding not even a halfhour ago, is pierced by the sword of Monique Gilbeault. Takamaru places a hand on the Princess's shoulder in hopes of calming her down, but she ignores it.

The only thing she can focus on is how horribly wounded he is, and the guilt that she feels. What if her kiss threw him off, and that's the reason why he wasn't able to evade Monique's attacks? What if he dies from the loss of blood!?

But she's shaken out of her stupor by the sound of Karel shouting.

Karel... he's angry about this as well, and wha- Emilio's going down with him as well? Motioning for Takamaru to follow her, Luciana rises from her seat.

Still doesn't need the extra shitty idols. None of the MLs are good.

Sure, they make pretty good cards, but most of it is usually pandering or sexualizing the idols a LOT. It's not surprising, since the game targets otakus and the obsessive market, but come on.

I honestly wish they'd make it a separate thing like they did with Cinderella Girls, except I honestly think Cinderella Girls is 10x better. I also wish they weren't in the new movie. That honestly is making my hype go down for it.

As the tears flowing from her eyes spill onto her glasses and make it nearly impossible to see (a slight relief, considering the situation), Sylvie grips her armrests so tightly that they begin to buckle from the pressure.

No, she can't just sit here as the boy she loves gets impaled. Jumping out of her seat, Sylvie walks out into the aisle and sees... Prince Emilio and Karel?

And then the argument that Sylvie heard but didn't actually listen to actually processes in her mind.

"Karel..." Sylvie says, turning to the blond-haired boy, "...you stop the duel and I'll take care of his injuries."
"Huh?" Karel says, turning to her. "Cool, sounds like a plan."

We have at least three more rounds of the reaction mambo don't we?

One for Reinhold breaking his sword on Monique's spine, one for Reinhold not giving up and getting his ass kicked as a result, and one for Karel interfering and Monique finally realizing that he was at negative hit points.

>>29689945

>>29689903
Also, at some point in our bodyguard career we're probably going to have to go up against someone with a powerful magic weapon, we may as well get used to it while we have a medical team on hand. We know a lot more of Monique's tricks now, and we know that Sealed Kings can put off damage to their wielder.

So we know if we're up against someone with a sealed king and we get a really fucking good hit in and they aren't going down, that we can play it defensive and wait for the wound to fall apart on them. We're now better equipped to defend the Princess.

It's not like Monique was going to kill us, there was a medical team on staff and he wanted to make us submit. We probably weren't going to die. It was just going to hurt a lot.

Pretty much this.

We figured that dying wasn't on the table, and we also figured that unless Monique is a cheating motherfucker, he can't just shake off having a sword broken on his back.

Like our thoughts were that Monique was just putting on a brave face, and one good hit could finish him off.

We were right, but we didn't have it in us to give him that last blow.
>>
>>29689745

Sylvie...

Never mind, this is not the time for that.

"Emilio, you wait with Takamaru and I while Karel and Sylvie go to put a stop to this," Luciana says.
"Luciana?" Emilio stammers, surprised by his sister's words. "I don't have to-"
"Father will most likely be angry if you were to run out into the center of the arena in front of all these people, regardless of Karel's being there or not," she replies. "But I doubt he'll be as cross if Takamaru temporarily watches over both of us while Karel takes care of things."

"I guess you have a point there," Emilio says after thinking it over for a few seconds.
"C'mon, that's enough wasting time!" Karel shouts as he races out into the hallway.
"Wait for me!" Emilio yells.

>>
>>29690074
The reaction to Monique falling to the ground unconscious may sway the direction the duel's results go. Some inspection to how he could have possibly kept going, and acting normally, with all of his ribs broken simultaneously could reveal that he did indeed cheat according to duel law. Magic sustaining consciousness must be some kind of illegal.

>>29690124
I doubt that would happen, as Monique's character alone makes him a poor choice as a bodyguard.

Yea, Monique himself said "This victory doesn't feel satisfying somehow..." So even he understands on at least a subconscious level that it wasn't a fair fight.

He'll never admit that we would have beat his ass if we too had a sealed king as well though.

I'm more interested in learning whatever magic was keeping him up and if it was exclusive to the sealed king or if we could learn in some day.

As far as i'm concerned, breaking the sword was the final straw.

I know Reinhold's nice, but that has to leave a mark.

Just caught up to the present on the archives. Archelon delivers! So who won and who lost?

Reinhold was clearly kicking Monique's ass. And then the sword gets pulled and he does much worse (as expected). Then magic ice bullshit that has very little to do with swordplay happens, but despite all of that he still manages to break all of Monique's ribs with the ice club. It's made clear at the end that Monique sword was buffing him up, probably for the entire fight given how he basically ignored his sword wounds. But at the very least blocking the pain from his broken ribs. This is in clear violation of the rules which dictate that magic can only be used to attack.

Now technically Reinhold lost by knockout, but the fight wouldn't have even reached that point if Monique had succumbed to the spine hit. And if the referee actually knew what was going on he would have disqualified Monique for use of magic when he got up, and Reinhold would have won either way at that point. So Reinhold lost (in the end), but Monique was clearly cheating from the point he pulled out a magic sword, and even disqualified himself by his own cited rules.

In Olympic sports if someone gets the gold and fails a drug test, the first place title doesn't just evaporate. But of course this is a duel and not a tournament, and the prize is limited to satisfaction and the adoration of the crowd. In that regard Monique is probably screwed, especially after he admitted to cheating in front of the entire arena. (thank you sound amplification magic!). It's going to be interesting how this plays out.

Especially since every second Reinhold was being stubborn is another second Monique was ignoring his probably fatal injuries. Karma is a bitch.

Because you have opinions that run counter to most of the player's.

It might be fixable. Blacksmiths exist for a reason.

And while it was important to Reinhold, Volker gave him a lot more than just a sword, things that are more important than a blade.

Even though it was a really damn nice sword, always stood up to the beatings we gave it. Gonna be hard to find one as good as it.

I love the fact that the only one who really won anything out of this duel is the crowd, and Monique

Reinhold' bullheadedness not only got his precious sword broken, but had his body wrecked to all hell, and also made every single one of his friends and family suffer from this, Marianne, Luci, and Grandma must feel like shit for encouraging him to do his best, and win

Marius must be catatonic over the fact that it was his painting which turned his brother in law into a mutilated mess, and let's not even talk about Citrine

But the crowd got one hell of a fight, and Monique made that damned whoreson feel the same rage and humiliation as him in that the man even started acting like a wild animal in his grief, and now he feels at peace

I Don't actually see Reinhold feeling like losing the sword wasn't worth it, he was fighting against a sealed king, in what is quite likely a once in a lifetime chance, he fought and wrecked house, and while he lost (as far as he knows) he fought individually against a weapon that would normally stop an army.

On top of that, he managed to surpass Volker, and break the unbreakable sword, which he should totally keep the hilt and fragments off as a keepsake.
>>
>>29690069

As the others rush out to help, Nicolette is glued to her seat, frozen in horror.

"Oh God..." she gasps, her hands over her mouth. "Reinhold, he..."
"Hey, don't worry," Rana says, her voice much less confident than usual. "I'm sure that Reinhold'll pull a comeback win and knock that guy right on his ass!"

Even ignoring whatever romantic feelings she has for Reinhold, he's still her best friend outside from Sylvie... and he's out there in the middle of the arena...

...and it looks like he might even die...

"Th..." Reinhold wheezes as he reaches for his sword... well, it's more of a club at this point thanks to the ice that's covering the blade. "that... was an..." he says, slowly forcing himself to his feet. "...ICE hit..."
"Wha..." Nicolette gasps.

Lets get real. Monique is a dead man walking.

You don't show up to a political meaning and brag that you were probably involved in the deaths of some powerful people's friends.

You also don't start swinging around an INCREDIBLY valuable artifact like that, which people are willing to die over to acquire.

You ALSO don't hurt someone who you know has that many powerful friends that badly.

At this point there's a line a mile long to see who'll shank his girly ass first.

I'm not sure if it'll work, but making a sword we literally can't break since we can reform it on the fly would be hilarious and fitting.

The being able to change its shape in combat is just icing on the cake.

It's a bitching sword that becomes part of our legend, not our waifu.

Did you forget Reinhold's thoughts?
He was bitching over Monique using the Sealed King, he was asspained as fuck, no one will believe him if he tries to play it cool due to how he reacted after the sword broke
>>
>>29690609
Its still legal the only thing they can use on him is the sword making him not feel pain.
Freezing Reinholds sword can be viewed as an attack or an affect of an attack and reinhold himself broke it so they cant use that.
Plus the walls were technically legal and we even had a chance to back out once he revealed the sword.

The same could be said of Reinhold, seeing as he regularly verbally abuses a girl against her wishes since obviously he knows what she wants better than she does, being a man and all.
>>
>>29690658
How about reforging our old sword into something that can break Sealed King's?
>>
>>29690672
that's what I meant.
The walls

Walls are not a standard sword attack. What's the legality? You can't create walls with any other sword.

Freezing our blade is technically legal

Making walls is BLATENTLY illegal based on the rules we know
>>
>>29690667

I'm really sorry to hear that Arch. Look, I've been enjoying this and want you to go on, but you need to do whatever's best for you right now.

nico is the one that says we aren't her true love or anything like that. we're a crush for her and she knows that and treats it like that, but that doesn't change the fact that there are still some feeling of attraction

As Monique falls to the ground, a feeling of pure relief washes over Marianne. It's finally over, and now that idiot can finally get some medical attention.

But still.

Marianne's the one who allowed this to happen, and she absolutely hates herself for it.

"EEEEEIGHT!!!!!" the announcer shouts. Great, only two more and- "OH, WE HAVE MOVEMENT! IS MONIQUE GOING TO MAKE IT BACK UP!? NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!"

Dear god, why!?

"I am..." Monique mutters as he punches the ground, forcing himself to his feet. "....NOT FINISHED YET!!!!!"

No.

He's back on his feet. And he looks a lot less hurt than Reinhold, who honestly seems like he'll die at any moment. And then to meet his opponent (of course he's too stupid to give up already), Reinhold raises his frozen sword into the air...

...and it snaps off at the hilt.

>>29691194
Volker and Agnes are the only ones we need to give a shit about.

I just hope Monique got knocked out cold from all those broken ribs.
>>
>>29691227
I did, I just thought it was obvious.

That's why we needed to tell Monique that we gave him winternal bleeding.
>>
>>29691213
>Cheat
His own grandfather made those rules, and it was allowed, and his enemy okay'ed it
The only cheat was when his sword let him ignore the pain, by its own will, not by his intentions
>>
Just hink, all this started because we cold-cocked him
>>
>>29691182
is he begging for us to listen to his shit? No.
He's pissed off and letting us know that we are pissing him off worse, so if people like you dont stop bitching he'll just go.

If you don't want to be here nobody is keeping you here. If his post speed is annoying, you dont need to stay here. If you dont like his writing or quest, nobody is stopping you from filtering the thread and moving on.
>>
>>29691239
so the sword is only broken at the hilt correct, not smashed to pieces?
>>
>>29691213
the only cheating was using it like PCP
what he used it for was to be a dishonorable rules-lawyering sack of shit

>>29691258
>knocked out cold from all those broken ribs.

It did more than that. All of his ribs were broken and had punctured his lungs. You can't move around when your lungs are full of blood.

You're doing great Arch.

>>29691302
>30 minutes

More like 30 seconds. I don't think you quite understand how much blood flows through the chest cavity. Getting all of his ribs broken must have turned his lungs into Swiss cheese.
>>
>>29691299
From the looks of it so it isn't in fragments.
At least we found the weak point of the blade.
>>
I hope they both die so we can now play as Elena who was so traumatized by the bloodbath that she decides to give up on swording, in favor of magic
>>
>>29691264
Honestly, even if we do lose, Monique is going to get a lot of backlash for this, and his family will undoubtedly lose a lot of respect and power.

He might have won the duel, but we won at life
>>
>>29691264
>>29691300
he would not have gotten up from that back hit if the sword didn't magic him, he'd have lost if he didn't cheat, even if he didn't mean to cheat

Oh no.

He's already got blood in his lungs.

>>29691297
It doesnt matter, though. The quest is what matters. The time he spent spinning that little sob story he could've spent writing more quest.
>>
>>29691299
It's shattered now. Arch mentioned that if we withdrew it would have been reatachable, but since we fought on I assume it's fucked.

Hey, just a lurker stopping by to say that I really enjoyed reading through the whole arena fight. Shit was intense, I had to stop reading quests for a bit after the end so I could process.

>>
>>29691346
now we can fix said weak point
>>
>>29691302
I'd imagine there's plenty of healers around the arena. In fact, it's probably only a matter of time before Monique can get right back up and pop open a cold one in celebration.
>>
>>29691376
No, if we withdrew it wouldn't have broken in the furst place.
>>
>>29691340
>>29691302
>>29691372
With multiple punctured lungs, most patients can stay conscious for about a half hour. After that point, not enough oxygen is reaching the brain to keep them conscious. Once unconscious, brain death sets in rapidly.
>>
>>29691346
It's more likely that the reason it snapped there is because the rest of the sword is frozen in place.
If defrosted incorrectly the rest of it will likely shatter right off the bat, or at least be weaker for it.

The sword i done.
>>
>>29691365
We'd give it back to his family. It'd be the honorable thing to do.
>>
>>29691393
Celebration to what?
He's getting disqualified for using non-attack magic.
He even said it out loud, in a place with sound amplification spells.
Monique is screwed
>>
>>29691375
He's a human being not a machine for your amusement. Again if you don't like it leave, because you are certainly not required to be here.
>>
>>29691411
Did we ever confirm the massive spinal damage?
>>
>>29691390
Again, breaking swords was what Volker did all the time.

And we're not nearly as bad as Monique was. Pretty sure we didn't even lose consciousness.

>>29691390

Unless, you know, nobody heard it.

Because he didn't explicitly yell it, and it was never specified how clear the audio was.
Not to mention, it's not the clearest connection to make with what he said.

It's just a pissing contest.

"Wh... what the..." Reinhold mumbles as he stares at the hilt that he's holding in his blood-covered hand. That sword. It was the one that Volker gave to him. Marianne can't even imagine the loss that he must feel upon losing something so precious...

"This is all my fault..." Marianne mumbles as tears well up in her eyes. "I'm the one who told him to do this..."
"Calm down, Princess," Reya says, patting her back in an attempt to console her. "You're not the one who pulled this sh- this crap, Monique Gilbeault is. He's the one who deserves all of the hate."

And just as Reya says that, the fool opens his stupid mouth, a mad grin on his face.

"Haha..." Monique places a hand on his forehead brushing the hair from his eyes. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YOU BASTARD!!! WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PRECIOUS SWORD WHEN SETSURANKA'S ICE FROZE IT!!!"
"-W- WE HAVE A WEAPON DESTRUCTION!!!!!" the announcer screams at the top of his lungs. "REINHOLD'S SWORD HAS BEEN BROKEN!!!!!"
"You were telling me yesterday that your sword was so very important to you, and now I bet you think that your moronic strength was the thing that destroyed it? NO!!!!!" Monique shouts. "I BROKE YOUR SWORD, REINHOLD! JUST LIKE YOU DESTROYED THE SWORD THAT MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER ENTRUSTED TO ME AS HE LAY ON HIS DEATHBED, YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!!!!"
"Wh..." in a daze, Reinhold looks up at his opponent. "You did..."
"That's right! Monique boasts. "Cold temperatures make things brittle!" he laughs. "And at its coldest, it would be a task for Anrasorana himself to melt it! What makes you think that your pathetic trinket could ever hold up!"

That bastard.

Then the piece of filth shuts his mouth for a few moments, just long enough for Marianne to process all of the ways that she'd love to see him die horribly and also stow them into the back of her mind because it's an abuse of royal power to have someone killed for a slight such as this.

Even if he -is- a miserable piece of filth.

"But you -did- offer to have another sword brought out for me when you so foolishly thought that you had broken mine," Monique says, sighing. "And as a gentleman, I shall extend you the same courtesy. You destroyed my sword, I have done the same to you in turn. As of this moment, my grudge with you is cleared."
"WHOA, HE'S ACTUALLY OFFERING TO CONTINUE!!" the announcer shouts, waving to the crowd in hopes of riling them up even more. "Reinhold, what do you say!?"

"No!" Marianne jumps out of her seat. "Give up, you don't have anything to prove to that man!"
"Whoa, Princess!" Reya exclaims, jumping over his seat to make sure that she doesn't fall out of the booth entirely
"You're hurt!" Marianne screams.

And screams.

And screams.

But it's not like Reinhold can hear her from all the way up here.

>>29691717
The ice encapsulated the blade, thus chilling the metal and making it brittle. However, it did not chill the hilt or crosspiece, leaving that part basically as warm as it was. Wouldn't the metal snap under the weight of the sword and the ice where the cold metal meets the warmer part of the blade?

>>29691784
Oh man. She's gonna be pissed.
>>
>>29691784
Shit damn
>>
>>29691790
he PLANNED for it.

He knew what his sword did and planned accordingly.

He just wanted to break the sword. The duel was a front on which to do so.

At the very least, that's the way Monique portrayed himself.

TO ALL OF THE NOBILITY

and as such, this duel wasn't honorable at all as he came in WITH intent rather than it being an accident.
>>
>>29691784
This is probably the most honest Marie has been about how she feels for us in the whole quest.

>this is more like dipping it in liquid nitrogen then just normal cold
Yes, I am aware that this is magic and I said as such in my initial post.

What I am saying, however, as you can see with many LN2 demonstrations, is that a modicum of force need be applied to the energy deficient object for shattering to occur.

that is the IMPRESSION he is giving publicly.

If I remember correctly, the way healing works in this setting is that to heal bones, you first need to move the bones into their proper position to heal them. Otherwise, I'll use this particular case as an example, the bones would basically becomes sealed inside his lungs. They'd need to be rebroken and surgically put into their proper place if that were to happen.

So to heal Monique, the medics will likely need to somehow extract Monique's ribs from his lungs. They'd need to either perform surgery to do this, since a punctured lung is no longer pressurized and thus will not be able to push the lung out, or they'd need some kind of telekinesis spell capable of moving objects not within line of sight.

Or a spell that moves bones back into place automatically.

>>29692069
Actually, they have found a way to reach negative kelvin, although it's not really "colder" than absolute zero as we think of it in the traditional sense. It involves pushing energy into a atom in such a way that all its electrons are locked in its outer most orbit. If I remember correctly.

Pretty sure it was the impact with the wall that shattered his ribs. Which makes one wonder what the initial impact of our sword did?

You're thinking of it wrong.

Imagine that the closest you can get to absolute zero is particles moving so slow that they seem, to the naked human eye, to be stopped.

Now inverse that.

The particles are now moving so fast that to the naked human eye, they are moving at near infinite speeds, possibly faster even than the speed of light. So fast that it makes a super heat. This would have to be the inverse of like,
0.0000000000000000000000001 degree Kelvin, and thus would be a temperature of
-0.0000000000000000000000001 Kelvin

So yeah, technically, it DOES sort of exist.

No. Not for as long while and not of the fight. That would devalue it, and keeping Monique a bit more separate from us, the readers, has a lot of narrative value which that would entail throwing out.
>>
So about that VN... it just occurred to me that this sword existing at all means that Reinhold could conceivably come into possession of it. It's not as impossible as it sounds if you tweak the events surrounding and resulting from the duel. (Monique could die for instance) A VN would have way more flags and paths than the single one we tread in this quest. So a sword route would not be out of the question, as hilarious as that would be.

Her disposition towards Reinhold depends on how many shitty ice puns the player makes.

That would be Absolute Heat. Which is believed to be Planck's Temperature. Roughly 1.47*10^47(?) degrees kelvin. That's not as hot as something can physically be, that's just the point after which reality starts to break down.

There's no upper limit to the energy of a particle

There is, however, a point where the laws of physics stop working and reality breaks down. That will happen before you reach any kind of energy cap.

"Aw crap..." Reya mutters under his breath before turning to the Princess. "D... don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine. Now sit down before you end up falling over the ledge."
"B- but he-" she stammers, choking back tears. "Alright..."

Reya is right, Marianne needs to calm down. Screaming until she faints won't do anyone any good, and that would cause Father to worry about -two- people in that case instead of one.

And then hears them say that he can't even open his hand on his own. That an attendant is forced to place the replacement sword in his hand for him, he's so wounded.

And a chill goes over her.

"J... just give up..." Marianne sobs. "...please, you're too hurt to go on... even wolves know when to fight and when to run..."

But he doesn't give up. He keep on going, with that same stubborn bravado as before.

And is rewarded for it by a blow to the head (thankfully with the pommel), courtesy of Monique.

"REINHOLD!!!!!!"

It's not about molecular movement. Or averaged kinetic energy.

When speaking of negative temperature it is speaking of temperature as the tradeoff between entropy and energy.

The definition of temperature has to do with the number of particles in lower and higher energy states, as in the case of positive temperatures the lowest is everything in lower energy states and as the temperature increases more and more go to higher states and the two approach equality.

A negative temperature is when you have more particles in high energy states than in lower energy states. Which is not a conceivable situation in the normal positive expression of temperature, and is referred to as negative.

Y'all are thinking about temperature wrong. Temperatures past Absolute Heat or Absolute Zero are basically a different state of matter. Once you hit negative kelvin or go over absolute heat, thermodynamics basically reverse. Or, well, they're speculated to reverse past absolute heat but that's currently unattainable and comes with a whole lot of other shit.

The original tradition definition of temperature is based on average particle energy. By that definition they just took a shitload of cold particles and made some of them hot. They've come up with their own bullshit statistical distribution definition of temperature that allows negative values.

Reinhold... he hits the ground pretty hard.

And though the Princess is shouting for him, Citrine's scream of terror is even louder.

This is her little brother... forget blood relations, he was the only good thing in her life for the better part of a decade and he counts as such in all the ways that matter. And now he may have gotten himself killed.

"Citrine..." Marius turns towards his wife, just as worried about her as he is about his brother-in-law's condition. "...please calm down, if only for the baby..."
"M- Marius!!!" Citrine shouts as she sobs into her husband's chest. "Reinhold, he... he..."
"Deep breaths, honey," he says in a soft voice. "Just calm down, I'm sure he'll be alright."

Deep breaths.

Yes, that's what Citrine should do... but she can't, the horror she feels at the prospect of losing Reinhold again after finally seeing him again after so long is too great.

"Thank God..." Marius breathes a sigh of relief as his wife's breathing finally regularizes. "Citrine, don't worry. Everything'll be okay, just you see."

As Marius gently removes his wife from his chest, his heart sinks... Citrine's fainted.

"QUICK!!" he shouts. "SOMEONE FIND A DOCTOR, MY WIFE'S FAINTED!"
"Right on it!" Rana shouts back, leaping out of her seat and bolting out of the door.

You are unable to create emotional bonds.
You feel bad for things put upon you.

You cannot figure how other people feel due to other actions.

as someone with no medical experience, I suggest the following treatment:

killing yourself.
>>
It's an empty victory.

Monique doesn't feel any actual satisfaction upon having finally bested Reinhold in glorious... no, that wasn't glorious combat.

But his great-grandfather's sword has finally been avenged, so that at the very least is some relief. It's like a weight's been lifted from Monique's chest.

"MONIQUE GILBEAULT!!!" a voice screams out.

But it's not the announcer, who could it... ah, it's the bodyguard girl. And now she's screaming some bollocks about how the duel isn't a true win... she's rather foulmouthed as well, perhaps that's her true nature coming out.

And now she's unsheathing her sword... what is that, a Flamberge?

"IGNITION!!"

With a flash of light, Karel's sword is engulfed in bright red flames. So much for that question.

"Well, how about it, you cheating bastard?" Karel taunts. "Or are you afraid to actually face someone that who can properly defend against your bullshit?"
"If you absolutely insist..." Monique begins, "...I suppose I have no choice but to fight you as well."

Monique collapsing in a second is because the sword said "Screw you, you've done enough damage to yourself already" and then stopped protecting him.

Why do people want us to apologize for dueling? I don't understand why the characters are so surprised seeing us get hurt (not even fatally) when we've been a soldier and now a bodyguard which involves a lot of life risking. Fucking cowards wanted us to back out just because we spill some blood and get pretty hurt? What the fuck did they expect?
>>

Most likely not, but in a duel, Monique is representing his family line.

As such he is REPRESENTING his family.
politically, to keep others from doing something like that, it would have to be pretty drastic.

>>29693123

<Wait, Monique!> Setsuranka calls out. <Stop, you're too hurt to keep on going!>
<Even I will admit that the girl's argument isn't entirely without basis,> Monique replies. <Even with that Flamberge, there's no need to worry. Even if she's able to melt your ice, her flames are still nothing to worry about... what's her affinity, anyways?>
<Water, but that's not the->
<Ha, then she shouldn't be able to hold out for very long. Now come on, let's end this so that I can finally get my wounds treated.>

As Reinhold's girlfriend carries him off the field, Karel turns to him, hatred in her eyes.

"Ready whenever you are, you cheating fuck," Karel says.
"Very well, then I shall take the first attack..." Monique says as he takes a low stance and dashes towards the blonde-haired swordsman...

...and doubles over, coughing up blood.

"Wh- what the hell?" Karel says as he backs away from Monique, who has blood gushing from his mouth.
"D... damn it, what now..." Monique mutters as he looks at Setsuranka.

>>29693422
But we weren't and Monique didn't even want us dead. And even if we were, why should we apologize for it? We wanted to do it and don't feel sorry for it. Not to mention the fact that being a bodyguard requires us to put Mariannes like before our own, so we'll see more life risking.
>>
>>29693365
It's not the duelling, it's the fact that we almost got ourselves killed, and likely should have had Monique any desire to. This was sport - not a life and death struggle. Going this far was unreasonable. There is magic around, yes, but they can only heal people. Not ressurrect them.

I think he thought that the sword spirit was kinda just holding the hand on the wheel just in case something went wrong?

I doubt he thought she would interfere unless Rein was going to behead him or something

Jesus christ would you read the fucking post

It was a safety measure, Monique didn't know she was holding his ribs in place

No, he cheated the whole time, the whole time he was possessed
>>
>>29693759
Calm yourself anon. Just think of the term "stupid reasons" as though I put them in quotation marks. I happen to think that going berserk and fighting a Seal King is pretty fucking baller. That's why there are no apologies.
>>
>>29693777

>>
>>29693782
He was at the very least using it for that last attack that Reinhold tried. Which is probably the whole reason why that 18 or whatever did nothing.
>>
>>29693491
Well, Citrine did FUCKING FAINT, Gregory almost lost his shit and nearly murdered Monique, we just made our grandmother witness us getting our shit rekt and Marianne screamed her heart out. On the bright side, Emilio grew a goddamn pair, Monique technically lost thanks to his sword 'roids, and Marianne finally said our name. Honestly, I think it was worth it, but we should TOTALLY apologize for that shit.
>>
>>29693797
>safety measure
Doesn't matter, it's still an enchantment that serves in a defensive/life support manner.
It's still cheating, even if the intent was to save his life.
You dense?
>>
>>29693676
Yeah. He basically got his magical god-sword to hop him up on painkillers for a duel of submission. He had to have known that would have been cheating.
>>
>>29693766
He wouldn't have been able to get up if he wasn't intentionally using Possession mode. He knew that it gave him supernatural endurance.

He cheated his ass off, and we can never prove it.
>>
I DIDN'T WANT SWORD WAIFU ANYWAY

We'll get our own magic sword, with hookers, and blackjack
>>
>>29693766
He still knew full well that he was using it. therefore he is still a cheating fuck.
>>
>>29693807
>implying we don't get a badass metal elemental Sealed King as a bash bro
>>
>>29693797
He knew that he was breaking the rules of the duel code by engaging Possession mode, it isn't a combat spell.

And he then used the technicalities of the rule to justify using a Sealed King.

He's a hypocrite and a liar.

time to NTR that bitchsword
>>
>>29693797
He had her protecting him from "potential fatal injuries."
And she did just that. She absorbed and allowed him to ignore a potentially fatal injury, thus giving him the win.

So yeah, still cheating.
>>
>>29693804
Y-yea, you better walk away from me!
Seriously though, yeah fighting a Sealed King and winning (he cheated, we would have won) is probably the best thing Reinhold has done so far.
>>
Monique did nothing wrong. Cry about it losers.
>>
>>29693822
Well, he didn't know because he didn't know sword-god was doing it.

Now he knows, and he just admitted it, and the magic doctors are going to find out when they treat him. So he's pretty much screwed on the 'winning the duel' front.
>>
>>29693821
>Waah he cheated by using a safety measure to ensure he wouldn't die

No. NTR is worst fetish. A real man doesn't NTR.

The back clubbing? Cuz that broke his ribs. All of them.
>>
>>29693817
They all knew we were going to fight a Sealed King and told us to do it. We didn't do anything wrong, we won after not surrendering and getting hurt.

Yeah! Well violate Monique's yaoi-hole, see how the ice sword likes THAT.

>We KNOW we're the better swordsman
But we're not.
>>
>>29693826
>He cheated his ass off, and we can never prove it.

On the contrary, Sound enhancing magic, remember? He just admitted it and everyone in the stadium heard him
>>
>>29693826
He said that last part out loud. In a duel with enchantments so everyone can hear what's going on.

Everyone heard him talk to his sword, and say that all of his ribs were broken and it kept him, and anyone with half a brain anyone can work out that the rest of the sentence is something about falling or collapsing.
>>

Objectively wrong.
>>
>>29693871
The 18 we rolled after the sword broke and we asked for another. Which resulted in us getting smacked in the back of the head.
>>
>>29693871
If that is the case, and he gets medically examined, it's going to be pretty obvious that he cheated in some way in order to stand up after we hit his back like that.

>>29693867
> people actually thinking that injury-ignoring magic in a duel to submission that only allows attack magic isn't cheating

He was a rules lawyer who stuck purely to the letter of the law when it benefited him, and now he's saying "well, technically it's banned but no harm done right?" to justify his own conduct.
>>
>>29693888
To be fair, we'd have no rivals otherwise

And NOW we have someone to strive for. Monique is on his own demigod level of power now with the sealed king, it's time to find something excellent on our own
>>
>>29693867
this isn't so much about the win as the dishonorable conduct.

proof of dishonorable conduct will drop his position SO fast.

ESPECIALLY considering
1: he made it seem like the match was only to destroy our heirloom
2: HE was the one who delivered the call to duel
3: HE spent time boasting and insulting WHILE cheating (as will be found out, even if he didn't intend it)

Really though, Setskuna was the one cheating and just wanted her master to win.
>>
>>29693888
to troll us.
>>
>>29693878
Yes we are. When he wasn't using the Sealed King portion he was getting his shit wrecked, and even after he used it he ended up just as beaten up as Reinhold.

>>29693904
He literally just said he knew he was in Possession State, he said it outright, he knew this for a while.
>>
>>29693881
Precisely, with the sound enhancing everybody knows he just cheated his ass off.
And even without it, it's pretty damn obvious by the whole "falling down coughing blood out of nowhere" thing.

People are obsessing over Monique's cheating because it reveals that he's really just been a hypocritical, self-centered ass all along. His fans in this thread don't want to believe it, but it's really important to hammer this home so that they stop thinking that he's something he isn't.

>>29693906
I am thinking that each time a sword broke, a duel was over, Reinhold won when he broke Monique's sword, Monique won when he broke Reinhold's sword, and its a draw when both of them collapse due to injuries.

>>29693939
excellent
this is the most legendary
>>
>>29693888
because Monique IS the quest.

Fun with trivia time:

Possession-mode was deemed legal in duels LONG before Monique's great-grandfather was even born.
Mainly because Anrasorana ran a dojo which was taken over by the only person he ever contracted with after his sealing. Said contactor was also his sole master up until maybe three years or so before the time of this Quest, and he'd let Anrasorana go into Posession-mode in order for him to be able to enjoy the thrill of the duel.

I'll get to the actual rules of Sealed Kings in the next thread maybe.

If a sealed king wants to duel someone using a puppet body that makes sense, but to put it bluntly sounds like total horseshit that he could knowingly use her possession "<You're in Posession state, remember?>" to be basically invincible for duels.

Why are people freaking out over the Possession state thing?

I doubt they're common enough to where duels see much use of them.

MY GUESS: The rules for magic swords are in effect to account magic sword vs magic sword battles. It just so happens we didn't have a magic sword.

I'm pretty sure in a duel like this it would be required to report that you have a magic sword, but I guess not

Well it already looks like Karel's gonna question that shit pretty damn hard.
>>
>>29694252
Yeah. Everyone needs to chill out. We're going to find out very soon what the fallout is going to be.

I am extremely pleased whether or not we won though.
>>
>>29694144
Fuck yes, but we're doing it >>29694165's way.
>>
>>29694249
Oh, I've been ignoring that shit. Bitches will be bitches, right? I'm just talking about rules-lawyering it up.

Even though I'm not sure if we should rules lawyer. Reinhold seems more likely to let it slide, take the defeat, and come back later to challenge Monique to a rematch. Thus starting a feud spanning multiple generations as they each power up further and further.
>>
>>29694168
reinhold apparently
>>
>>29694054
>Posession-mode itself is duel-legal

>other stuff is up to question.

Everyone shut up, and we deal with the other stuff later.
>>
>>29694054
Man now I really don't know how this will play out
>>
>>29694237
Yeah, because he used a goddamn Sealed King that kept him alive through the whole fight despite being a vastly inferior swordsman. Right. I can see how that would improve one's standing in society.
>>
>>29694076
Because he had a Sealed King, keep the fuck up.
>>
Even if he didn't know about it, so what?
That doesn't change cheating.
If the duelist's knowledge was what mattered, then there's nothing stopping anyone from pumping up their preferred duelist with all kinds of magic, and then just not telling the duelist. The whole "the duelist didn't know, so it's not cheating" argument ignores that a third party can still cheat on the duelist's behalf, without his knowledge, and it's still cheating.
>>
>>29693961
>"you can't use magic"
>"unless it's EXTRA POWERFUL MAGIC"
You just went full kubo.
You never go full kubo.
>>
>>29694181
Possession mode seems kind of bullshit to me as a whole, you're not fighting your opponent, you're fighting the elemental in the sword who controls his body. Which would be fine if both parties were aware of this. But if the opposing party doesn't know, its practically like fighting someone else, which in duels which I'm assuming are usually grudge matches, is pretty unfair.
>>
>>29694054
Goes without saying, we're eager to read what happens.
>>
>>29694291
I completely agree.

Thanks for stating what I could not find the words for.
>>
>>29694311
See
>>29694054
>>
It's pretty hilarious that even with a sealed king, Monique needs to use highly dishonorable tactics to actually win.

The Gilbeaut family name is going to the shitter now.
>>
>>29694316
>>29694291

Here here!
>>
I'm going to point out that Reinhold himself won't know any of what's going on at the moment since he's half-conscious.

Hopefully someone else will know what's going on.
>>
>>29694263
>>29694311
Can legally let the Sealed King use them to fight.
>>29694054
The way he used it is not completely within the rules
>>
>>29694291
Yeah but Karel is totally the sort to rules lawyer.
>>
>>29694291
No, we should totally rules lawyer. Fuck Monique, dont even give him a false win.
>>
>>29694297
too bad we are choosing to argue about all this bs and be really angryy at each other for not finding everything objectionable insteadd of progressing the story
>>
>>29694320
To be fair to him, he did not know he had life support.
>>
>>29694302
basically this
>"Look there, it's Monique Gilbeault, the man who used a thousand year old artifact to beat a commoner in a duel and still broke all his ribs!"
>"What a pathetic excuse for a noble"
>>
>>29694320
Let's be honest, though. If Monique wasn't trying to torture us, he would have won.

If he was 100% serious, there would have been no way in hell we could've beaten him.
>>
>>29694291
I don't even feel like he would challenge him to a rematch out of spite. Maybe to spar against a sealed king again, but probably not as any sort of grudge.
>>
>>29693961
Whoa, guys, relax. Chill the fuck out for a second, yeah? This was in the past, and in a different rule set from the one used in this duel. It's completely possible that Possession-mode isn't legal in THIS duel and Arch is just fucking with us. But even if is, and Monique still won, what does it matter? He got nothing but a splint for his broken ego, and now everyone is gonna call him on his bullshit. He's just made a metric fuckton of enemies, his notjapanese friends are probably doubting his sanity right now, and there's gonna be assassin's after his sweet booty thanks to his revealing his haxsword. For all intents and purposes, we just accidentally pulled a Death Note tier Keikaku WITHOUT REALIZING IT just by getting our shit stomped.
>>
>>29694291
This
>>
>>29694320
I really want to see his brother's reactions throughout the fight.
>>
>>29694291
Maybe Monique is the rival we need to reach Gregory/Thierri/Vincent/Niklice/et cetera levels of power?
What if it ends with both of us becoming too powerful for our physical forms to contain, and thus being reborn as elementals?
>>
>>29694346
Even if you didn't know your coach gave you PCP before the match, it doesn't really make it any less illegal.
>>
>>29694346
>he did not know he had life support
That doesn't matter you retard. Someone's trainer could pump someone full of roids and not tell them, but that's still be a dishonorable cunt
>>
>>29694341
Why the hell should we? There is literally nothing riding on this but honor and we won that battle. Rules lawyering would be pointless and petty. If someone else does it on our behalf, that's cool, but it's not worth our time.
>>
>>29694320
It would though

He's no longer the nameless prettyboy noble, he's now the fucking wielder of an Ice Goddess

Fuck everything else about it, Monique has basically won this quest.
>>
>>29694320
I really don't think that's going to happen.
>>
>>29694367

I enjoy reactions too but I'd really like to get some forward momentum here story wise
>>
>>29694291
Sure, that'll happen. Arc hates powergamers apparently and then powergames a enemy.

We'll learn a WHOLE NEW spell when he trips over another hellsword.
>>
>>29694364
this

>>29694363
and this
>>
Arch, can you give us a quick rundown on the sealed kings and their history at some point?

Whether it makes sense or not I'm sure you've thought about the plot holes (to us at this point) involving their behavior.
>>
>>29694391
Considering the amount of people that saw this and that noticed the bullshit, I'd say a lot of people could.
Heck, even Karel or the Referee himself.
>>
>>29694351
Or because nobles are all about pampering and sucking cock

>Look there, Monique Gilbeault, the man who reclaimed his honor and took one of the sealed kings for his own
>Truly, a god among men

Even if it turns out that he's disqualified, people are still going to flock to him because sword
>>
>>29694405
Becoming more powerful when the plot demands /= powergaming.
>>
>>29694389
This
and it's a little worse
It's not that he didn't know that he was given PCP, it's that he didn't know his drug cocktails contained PCP, even though he can technically sneak past a drug test with the other ones

Are you fucking serious? What do you think was happening before we broke the outer layer of his sword? Horseplay?

He fought hard and lost hard. His injuries are specifically from when he was fighting fair and getting his ass kicked. He only 'won' when he went full DBZ on us.

Try to keep up with the quest.
>>
>>29694397
You kidding? Look Monique's interactions with his family, it was foreshadowed to hell and back that he'll bring dishonor to them.
>>
>>29694405
Any excuse, right?
>>
>>29694424
>needed a sealed king to fight a random guy
>still got heavily injured
Nah, only the slutty women will flock to him.
>>
>>29694386

Which makes me wonder about that sword. I guess eternal life as a sentient magic weapon wears on one's sense of honor.
>>
>>29694363
I think it will be in this rule set, Arch has never just been fucking with us; he said what he said for a reason.
>>
You wake up to a white ceiling.

Wait, but the last thing you remember is being helped out of the arena by Sylvie, and- oh yeah, that right. You passed out just after getting there and seeing Luciana bawl her eyes out.

"Ugh..." you groan as you place a hand on your collarbone... while it's sore as hell, it's somehow back in one piece! And the wounds on your hands and arms are also healed, thank God. Doesn't seem like their functionality's been affected at all, either.

With a tired sigh, you fall back onto your pillow.

And then you notice someone next to you...

"Sylvie?"
"Wh- huh-" Sylvie stammers as she's snapped back into the world of the awake. "Reinhold?"

"REINHOLD!!!!" Sylvie shouts as she pulls you into a tight hug and sobs into your chest.
"Th... that still hurts, you know..." you mumble.
"S- sorry!" she exclaims as she snaps right back into her seat and produces a handkerchief with which to dry her eyes. "I'm just so happy that you're okay..."


>what do you say?
>>
>>29694353
To be honest, if we didn't give him the chance to gain momentum by offering him to change his sword and instead kept just pressuring him, there's no way in hell he'd been able to do much.
>>
>>29694353
so instead of an incompetent cunt, he's a sadistic bitch who tar the honor in dueling?
>>
>>29694353
Like he was going "serious" in the first duel against him?

Monique is a pussy bitch that gets his ass handed to him in every way when it comes to swordplay. Reinhold is by FAR the better swordsman.

It's just that real fighting in this world has nothing to do with swordplay and everything to do with how much magic bullshit is on your side
>>
>>29694467

"My...my sword.

Where is it?"
>>
>>29694467
"Yeah, I was getting pretty cold for a minute there..."
>>
>>29694353
We beat him last time, we were beating him before he brought out his Sealed King, and we did pretty okay against him even then.
>>
>>29694467

Just a little chilly, is all.

How are you?
>>
>>29694467
"Thanks, Sylvie." Look around. "Where am I?"

>>29694467

Hold up our hands/arms. "Your work?"

Yeah. Exactly. He started curbstomping us when he got slightly serious.

Also, we totally need to either get a new blade magicked onto the hilt or keep the pommel as a necklace

Why would we even think other people are hurt, other than monique, but who gives a shit about him?

We should be annoyed. I mean it was a seriously nice sword, it served us well for a while and now we have to go through all the trouble of fixing it or getting a new one.
>>
>>29694559
This sounds about right. Need to see when we are, where our weapon is, and what our charge's disposition is.

I think we should be a little sad, but not upset of losing our sword. Like when you have to finally put away the last piece of your childhood.

This will be our entry into Mantra. We will forge our own Mantra on the belief in the sword.

He used to break his swords all the time and at best it was a nuisance. We shouldn't treat it any differently.

>>
>>29694692
Considering that we don't know how long we were out, our first instinct might be that it hasn't been very long, and thus we might be confused as to why only Sylvie is here.

Rather than wondering if everyone is OK, wondering where everyone else IS is probably a reasonable course to take.
>>
>>29694729
Well, theoretically we've known for a long time that our style risks breaking our own sword...we are a sword breaker...this one just had the durability to last.
>>
>>29694710
We lost a guard rank but we gained a bit more of the Princess caring about us. She actually used our name. That is a bigger step than what the rank tells us, she is just a little bit closer to thinking of us a real person.
>>
>>29694682
Another vote for pommelace.
>>
>>29694607
I don't think we should lose our shit about it at all, given all we've heard about Volker breaking swords all day every day.

Like we should definitely be bummed out, but that's about it.
>>
>>29694736
Stop being stupid. He wouldn't even know anyone except for feminman even got involved. It's not a case of being dense, it's a case of him fucking passing out and not knowing anything

Reinhold will be annoyed, but he won't really care that the sword was /broken/. That was his shtick after all.

>>29694736
>he gets into an arranged fight
>if you don't think everyone else got hurt somehow you're retarded
>>
>>29694743
i thought the blade exploded?
also you'd still have to reforge the entire blade. Can't really just slap a patch on a sword, it won't have the same structural integrity
>>
You know what would be really cool? A spell that re-blades a hilt.


Break our sword all we want and magic a new one.
>>
>>29694752
Am I the only one who thinks we should apologize to Agnes for breaking Volkner's sword?
>>
>>29694752
That's exactly what I meant.

It's annoying, but really it's not worth our time and energy to throw a shitfit over it or seek revenge. The sword was the least important of all the things Volker gave us.

We however should be sure to fuck with Monique a bit if we get a chance.

He's a military boy who just woke up after a hell of a fight, it's a pretty natural thing to worry about even if it's not rational - folks aren't usually rational when waking up from death.

Yes. Volkner wouldn't care and had more than one sword.

This right here

It was important, and a good step for Reinhold's development.
A necessary step even, now he's a real Eschenwald who can carve his own destiny.

It's like taking off the kiddie-wheels, but it hurts a little more.
>>
>>29694728
I hope we aren't being too shitstorm tonight. I rather enjoy this setting and story and I hope we don't ruin it for you before we get to the end.
>>
>>29694793
That was Volker's shtick.

Reinhold only break other swords.
For all we know he really could have thought it was indestructible.

I think the biggest consideration here guys is that he didn't break it himself, but that Monique intentionally used ice magic to take it away.
>>
>>29694796
i meant it would be easy to make sure we've got all of it, and during mari's view it said it just dropped off from the hilt
there's also magic for reforging

I'm going to point out that Reinhold's Affinity is Metal.

Would it be too far-fetched to magic the blade whole?
>>
>>29694803
Do it anyway. I mean volker continually broke his swords, so it was expected...

but it's still one of the only things left of volker
or was...

we're still reforging it.
>>
>>29694851
That's probably far into the future of the quest.

>>29694860
I'm fine with leaving it to Agnes.

I think she really needs some help too.
>>
>>29694851
Given Reinhold's magical ability? Yes.

You can't.

Fragment Blade can not recreate the quality of a real sword.

I say burying it is the best thing to do to it.

Now volker's empty grave will have something in it.

The sword he carried with him.

So when our grandchildren start reading the quest?

That's who I was referring to with "his".
Volker'd be proud

Just because I love it when shit pops off I'm probably going to vote for whatever knocks up the narrative even more.

None of us are ever going to have children, let alone grandchildren.

Of course not.
Think a few further generations down the line. Our great great great grandchildren. Arch will have a kickstarter to get himself immortality treatments.
>>
>>29694790

its not a question of do we know what everyone did, it's the simple logic of "my friends were watching and I almost died, therefore it stands to reason that they would be worried."

FTFY.

That was a pretty COOL fight.

Too bad most of it is shitflinging...

We should leave Reinhold's emotional response to the dice.

Things should work in our favor.

He just might. We demonstrated that we might be even more bullheaded than him.

He might be upset with us for worrying his daughter, but

>went down fighting, even against overwhelming odds

I think he's going to be reasonably content with our performance.

Now whenever he is cold or sees a cold entity he can only speak in ice puns.

I think he'd be more pissed off at Monique.
>>
>>29694997
When non-sociopaths see their friends almost die, they suffer from stress and anxiety, as well as fear for their safety. Not physical injury but it can be considered "hurt".
>>
>>29695024
>his "shame"

LOL!

Good luck making me feel ashamed, I have immortal ice sword waifu!

>>29695034
I'm sorry.

I'd rather wait for Arch's official guarenteed 1, 1, 1 dice roll

>>29694994
Sure, works for me.
>>
>>29694994
so we see it as a bit sad, but it's how Volker would have wanted the sword to go, and we still have everything he ever taught and gave us?
perfect

>>29695013
Not to mention he took down his opponent with him that used dishonorable tactics despite the fact that he had every advantage to begin with.

there's more magic than what's been listed, and a spell rebuilding something from it's pieces is entirely possible

Regardless of whether or not we or anyone else thinks that Monique cheated, maybe we should give him the win so that he won't have any reason to mess with Reinhold anymore.

We honestly should have bowed out when the sealed king came out

Monique gets to feel smug, reinhold feels like he's the better swordsman, everyone is happy

That's like saying that you have the ability to fire little pieces of metal at dangerous speeds when it's actually the ability of the gun you're using.

Rein wouldn't have stepped down.

That was a real life chance, in a controlled arena, to fight a sealed king

I say we shouldn't just leave it at that. If that sort is technically legal for dueling, our obvious next course of action is to kill him and take it.
>>

>>
>>29695121
I don't know, he seemed unsatisfied with the win, but I think he would be even more pissed off if the win was taken from him because he was accused of cheating. Especially if Reinhold is accusing him.

Not in this case, as the abilities of the tool gave him an edge over us when Rein has a better swordsmanship.
It's like comparing a guy with a knife against a guy with a machinegun, the first guy can be a boss with the knife, but the other guy can just spray bullets at hi,.

Hey guys, let's try to keep all the shit posting and arguing in this thread till it gets knocked.

Keep the other one alive a bit longer, you know?
